Legal advice

With more than 40 years of experience and the backing of a full-service law firm, we’ve seen (and solved) it all.

In Western Australia, there’s no cooling-off period for property contracts. Once both parties have signed, the deal is legally binding – which is why getting advice before you sign matters.

We strongly recommend having a lawyer review your contract upfront. It’s a small step that could save you a major headache.

Most settlements go to plan. But if something unexpected does come up? You’ve got the backing of a full-service law firm – ready to step in, advise you on your rights, and resolve the issue quickly.
